Editorial Reviews

Klaus Schulze first attracted attention as a member of the German progressive rock band, Tangerine Dream. Following the release of their debut LP, Electronic Meditation, he departed for a solo career. Klaus' recorded work typically features extended pieces sometimes filling an entire album built around computer-generated synthesizers and other specially programmed electronic effects. Klaus Schulze remains a cult figure in the United States, where the bulk of his prolific output has until now been available only through the import bins. He is widely considered an avant-garde mainstay as well as a founding father of both the new-age space music and electronica genres.

Originally released in 1995, In Blue first saw the light of day as a double CD. Featuring Klaus old friend Manuel Göttsching (Ash Ra Temple) on guitar in both the studio setting and the bonus live recording. The Special Deluxe 3CD Edition of In Blue is housed in a stylish digipak with an enhanced booklet, including new liner notes and photos.

"In blue" was recorded at the end of December 1994 and features 3 long tracks (78, 44 and 33 minutes) of outstanding quality. On track 2 we hear a welcoming return of former Ash Ra Tempel colleague Manuel Göttsching featuring some excellent guitar work. This was the first album of Klaus Schulze recorded in the 90's that doesn't feature sampled noises or voices (like the infamous "you mean that's it"). It also pays some tribute to the music he recorded in the 70's ... He takes his time to slowly build atmospheres rather than combining different themes (like in the "Dome event"). If you have to take your 5 Schulze discs on an island, make sure "In blue" is one of them.

Schulze's work is often lumped in with the electronic trance offerings which pile up every month from infinitely less talented individuals, but to me he is much more than that.

I love his music. I find it energizing, stimulating, exciting, creative, unsettling -- the very opposite of so much synthesizer music from the past and the present. He deserves to be taken a lot more seriously, though he himself often seems to be content to be defined as producer of dance, chill-out and trance tracks for gilded youth. Yet the ghost of J.S. Bach can be seen dancing through these luminous passages.

Anyway, that apart, I only ever recommend music that I deeply enjoy and that I think others will enjoy, and "In Blue" is definitely a source of pleasure! Among my other favourites are the thrilling 2-part space fantasy "Trancefer" and the beautiful new album, "Moonlake."

Klaus is the King of Electronic Music . I thought that I would never hear anything new from Klaus , but I was wrong . His sound amplified and FRESH with light new tones and changing lanes at cruising speed for sane people . Hip notic to say the least , X at the end of the Century . Can`t wait to hear what he has to say in the New Milenium . Right On ...
